Summary: Side-splittingly funny
Review: I brought this book to my husband when he was in the hospital, to read while he was recovering from surgery. He asked me to take it home, because he laughed so hard he almost pulled his stiches! The book is a treasure of humor, and so packed with hilarious one-liners that it is guaranteed to elevate your mood. A deliciously uproarious read!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funniest Book I Have Ever Read
Review: I could not stop laughing once I started to read this book. Absolutely hilarious. I always have extra copies at the home to give to friends. You have to read this book!

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I loved this book. I laughed my way through the book. There wasn't a moment of dullness. Too many websites plagarize this book. THis book is original, doesn't dare to cencor anything, and I would recomment it as a gift for anyone on your holiday gift list.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Any book that makes me laugh THIS hard ...
Review: I picked this one up at Borders and started to read at ramdom. Within seconds I was laughing out loud right there in the book aisle. I had to buy it. When I read it at home, I had to do it in short hops because my stomach would hurt from laughing. It's a keeper. Definitely a great one for all who love our language - and having fun with it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My copies keep disappearing
Review: I think over the years since I first discovered this book, I have probably bought 10 copies. They all disappear, as most "borrowed" books do. As other reviewers have noted, it is hilarious. The only people I know, who did not find it funny, are those who never finished high school, or just squeaked by. I was reminded of a line from the World History section of the book recently. The line from the book was, I believe, "Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with an 80 foot clipper." A teacher was actually the one who reminded me of it. She was referring to a large catamaran and made the claim it could "circumvent" the world. She went on to mention it had its own "desaltation" unit. Fortunately, she was not teaching my daughter English!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!
Review: I've read Anguished English no fewer than five times and each time it reduces me to tears of laughter. This book is a hillarious collection of goofs gleaned from daily life. Read one at a time they are funny, but if read at one sitting, don't drink any milk you don't want to see coming back out your nose.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the TRUE GEMS!!!
Review: In an infinite sea of books, this one stands out as a True Gem!!!

No matter where I went in this book, I ended up holding my sides because I was laughing so very hard!

After reading the guidelines and advice for writing reviews, I can whole heartedly say that this book is safe, unless you find laughter dangerous!

Summary: A wide-ranging anthology of rib-tickling bloopers.
Review: Little did I know when I put together this collection that it would become one of the best-selling language humor in American publishing. I've gathered together more than 25 different kinds of fluffs and flubs, goofs and gaffes, blunders and bloopers. And every one is, to my knowledge, authentic, genuine, and unretouched -- culled from thousands of specimens and submissions. I'm delighted by the widespread use of this book as laughter therapy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laugh out Loud
Review: Not only is this book side-splitting hilarious, but it is also a valuable tool for teaching my kids about grammar and English usage.

Every time our kids would read, "Missing masterpiece found by tree" (an actual headline) or "Texas Colleges still a Bargain, Education Extra," and go into paroxysms of laughter, I knew they were also learning something about sentence structure. So it's a great book to give to kids age 11 - 17.

Sometimes people are reluctant to buy humor books because they think that if they've read it once, it won't be funny enough to pick up again. Not so with this book. Crack it open at random and you'll laugh as hard as the first time.
